@emilybruth: This isn't to say that things can't improve when you give them more time. I am a strong believer in sticking things out, but I am ALSO a strong believer in knowing when to cut your losses and not succumb to sunk-cost bias. #mindset #intuition #BookTok

This has been my philosophy since I was a teenager but I feel like we are socialized to not be a “quitter”

Catch-22 was like that for me. I hated it more than The Great Gatsby. It was worse than Hemingway.

It took me a long time to take people as they are, and not what I want them to be or the potential I see in them. Just because you can realize potential in someone, does not mean they will
